Check out this cool paper from @sschyck.bsky.social that answers an unexpected question: How fast can hematite swim?! 🌊

How fast can hematite swim? 🏊♀️
We show that simple calcination can greatly enhance the photocatalytic-driven motility of hematite microswimmers. Now out in Applied Materials Today!

Today my PhD student Caitlin and I were going through models (agent based and continuum) of the physics of swimming microalgae 🦠. Caitlin's investigating the movement of motile microalgae in snow ❄️ in collaboration with Mel Sandells, Matt Davey and Xanthella. #microswimmers #cryosphere #OnePlanetDTP

Hi Bluesky, my name is Otti and I am a biophysicist working on the theoretical and experimental biophysics of swimming microbes and microbial interactions. My research is inspired by applications to sustainability and environmental science. #Biophysics #MathBio #Microswimmers #ActiveMatter
